Frequently asked questions

How many federal alcohol permits are in Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico has 855 active federal alcohol Basic Permits — 32 wineries, 123 distilleries, 245 importers, and 455 wholesalers. That is the 26th most of any U.S. state or territory.

What is Puerto Rico's per-capita permit rate?

Puerto Rico has 26.7 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 13th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Puerto Rico city has the most permit holders?

San Juan leads Puerto Rico with 162 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Guaynabo, Caguas, Carolina.

Are breweries included?

No. Breweries do not hold an FAA Basic Permit — they operate under a Brewer's Notice (IRC §6103, protected from disclosure), so they are not in the public TTB List of Permittees this directory is built from.

Where does this data come from?

The TTB FOIA "List of Permittees," published April 2025 — public U.S. government data, reformatted without alteration.
